Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 2026

At Texas-Arrests.org, your privacy is a top priority. As a public information educational portal, we believe that transparency regarding data collection is just as important as the transparency of the public records we write about.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website. By using Texas-Arrests.org, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

The “No Tracking” Promise

Because we deal with sensitive topics, we want to be perfectly clear: We do not track the specific names or records you search for, nor do we run background checks on our visitors. Your use of our educational guides remains private.

1. Information We Collect

We believe in data minimization. We only collect data that is strictly necessary to run the website and respond to your inquiries.

Information You Provide

We do not require you to create an account. We only collect personal data (such as your Name and Email Address) if you voluntarily send it to us via our Contact Us form, or when submitting a DMCA/Content Removal request.

Automated Information

Like almost all websites, we use standard analytics to improve performance. We may automatically collect non-identifiable data such as your IP address (anonymized), browser type, device type, and the pages you visited on our site.

2. How We Use Your Information

Any information we collect is used solely for the following operational purposes:

  • To operate, maintain, and secure the website against spam or attacks.
  • To analyze traffic patterns and improve the user experience of our articles.
  • To respond directly to your customer service emails, correction requests, or DMCA notices.
  • To display relevant advertisements that keep this educational resource free for everyone.

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal contact information with third-party marketers or data brokers.

3. Cookies & Advertising (Google AdSense)

Texas-Arrests.org uses “cookies” (small text files placed on your device) to enhance site navigation and analyze site usage.

Third-Party Advertisers

We use third-party advertising companies, such as Google AdSense, to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use aggregated information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to your website or other websites.
  • Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • You may opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

4. External Links & Official Portals

Our educational guides frequently link to external, third-party websites, primarily official Texas government portals (e.g., the Texas Department of Public Safety, county jail rosters, or TDCJ databases).

Please note that Texas-Arrests.org does not control these external websites. Once you click a link and leave our site, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policies of any government or third-party site you visit.

5. Your Privacy Rights (CCPA & GDPR)

Depending on your location, you may have specific rights regarding your personal data, including the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information held by us.

Since we do not mandate user accounts, the only personal data we typically hold is email correspondence. If you wish to have your past email correspondence deleted from our secure inbox, please contact us using the information below.

6. Children’s Privacy

Texas-Arrests.org is an adult educational resource dealing with the criminal justice system. It is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately so we can delete it.
